The township has plans for renovating the Southeast corner of the gym and cafeteria structure. Demolition is complete and the construction of new ADA-friendly bathrooms and a shade structure will be completed as funds allow. They recently replaced all the windows on the south side and have plans to replace the roof on the cafeteria as well.
